Default Can you say why I might be wrong to see serious problems with right-wing

politics and philosophy? It seems to me that right-wing politics is about giving everyone as much freedom as possible whilst detering language or behaviour found offensive to people with right-wing views, assault, violence, murder, damage to property and theft. It seems to me that anthing else goes including lies, deception, exploitation of the weak, poor and powerless by the strong, rich and powerful, unscrupulousness, unethical business practice, ruthlessness and irresponsibility. Right-wingers also value hard work and seem to be very concerned about being exploited by "lazy" people and about political systems that in their eyes make it easy for some people to be as lazy as they like (parasytes). They believe in the concept of meritocracy but they do not realise that this concept is greatly flawed. Getting to the top is not just about hard work, it is also about luck, selfishness, exploitation, manipulation and other negative or random things. Isn't this philosophy greatly flawed and highly unsavoury?

You assign your own definition and various unsavoury characteristics to ‘right wing’ without attempting to establish a link between cause and effect apart from your own (apparently pre-judged) opinion of the politics. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but if you want to persuade anyone to your view don’t you need more ? Do we conclude for instance that individual freedom , freedom of speech , hard work and merit have no place in your preferred politics ?
